[8] Our sister is little, and hath no breasts. What shall we do to our sister in the day when she is to be spoken to?
CHORUS FRATRUM. Soror nostra parva, et ubera non habet; quid faciemus sorori nostrae in die quando alloquenda est?

[9] If she be a wall: let us build upon it bulwarks of silver: if she be a door, let us join it together with boards or cedar.
Si murus est, aedificemus super eum propugnacula argentea; si ostium est, compingamus illud tabulis cedrinis.

[10] I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace.
SPONSA. Ego murus, et ubera mea sicut turris, ex quo facta sum coram eo, quasi pacem reperiens.

[11] The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver.
CHORUS FRATRUM. Vinea fuit pacifico in ea quae habet populos : tradidit eam custodibus; vir affert pro fructu ejus mille argenteos.

[12] My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof.
SPONSA. Vinea mea coram me est. Mille tui pacifici, et ducenti his qui custodiunt fructus ejus.

[14] Flee away, O my beloved, and be like to the roe, and to the young hart upon the mountains of aromatical spices.
SPONSA. Fuge, dilecte mi, et assimilare capreae, hinnuloque cervorum super montes aromatum.
